3D-Printed Passive Gripper Helps Factory Robots Change Gears, Easily Pick Up Any Object, Research Shows
A team of researchers from the University of Washington developed a tool that can design a passive gripper that is 3D-printed and can determine the most effective way to pick up an object. The gripper could help robots in factories easily pick up various kinds of objects without altering their shape, like the tongs on a forklift, to reduce costs.

Wearable Artificial Kidney Could Replace Conventional Dialysis
A wearable artificial kidney could be developed as a viable, new dialysis technology that allows patients to be mobile and untethered during treatment, results of a US Food and Drug Administration-authorised clinical trial suggest. The technology may become an alternative to conventional hemodialysis for people with end-stage kidney disease. Presen...
